E63 lower than e350 sport?
Just wondering. Contemplating getting 20's. Just don't want to lower the car. Saw a pic of an e63 on 20's not lowered and it looked good.

My opinion, if the tires aren't slightly tucked or at least flush with fenders than it doesn't look good. Everyone has different thoughts on this subject.

Also keep in mind the larger the wheel is, the lower the sidewall height of the tire. Thus your more prone to having a bent wheel, due to potholes. The E Class is a heavy car.

True. True. I just hate when the car looks too tall after upsizing. Comfort edition would be way too tall but the sport, might be ok like the e63 i saw.

I beleive there is a difference in the track as well. The AMG is wider.

I know all about the offsets. Just getting mixed results on ground clearance specs between the models. E63 4" and comfort model 3"!?
